Intro­duc­ing a new Jew­ish voice from the South that tells us with humor, panache, and raw frank­ness her irre­sistible sto­ry of what it means to become an Amer­i­can woman today.

Simul­ta­ne­ous­ly mer­ci­less and humor­ous, F. K. Clementi’s mem­oir is ulti­mate­ly an inspir­ing account of a woman’s dis­il­lu­sion­ment and per­son­al rebirth. Enter­tain­ing, orig­i­nal, and poet­ic, South of My Dreams will res­onate with all who fight hard for what they want and refuse to put aside their child­hood dreams.
